EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the early 1910s, we find three young men identified as Bob Groom, Frank Laporte, and Washington Al, gathered at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. The image, captured by the renowned Harris & Ewing photographic studio, showcases the trio in casual attire typical of the era. Bob Groom and Frank Laporte are dressed in collared shirts, knitted sweaters, and caps, while Washington Al dons a cardigan sweater and a distinctive headdress or headgear. The men exude a sense of camaraderie and ease, perhaps a reflection of their shared experience as baseball players for the University's team, which was part of the American League during that time. The photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion trends of the 1910s, with the men's clothing reflecting the practicality and comfort preferred during this period. The image is a valuable addition to the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the social, political, and cultural history of the United States during the 20th century. The photograph's creators, George W. Harris and Martha Ewing, were prominent figures in the photography industry, having founded Harris Ewing & Company in Washington D.C. in 1896. Their studio, Harris Ewing Inc., became a leading provider of photographic services, including portraits, glass negatives, and postcards. This image, taken around 1912-1913, is a testament to their skill and the enduring appeal of their work. In summary, this photograph of Bob Groom, Frank Laporte, and Washington Al at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, captured by Harris & Ewing around 1912-1913, offers a captivating glimpse into the fashion, sports, and social dynamics of the early 1910s in the United States.
